BECOME A GEN III SPONSOR

To our Shooting Industry Partners:


We invite you to become a sponsor for the Generation III Gun Championship to be held September 11 to 13, 2026, at the Gadsden Shooting Center in central Missouri.


Generation III Gun is an exciting nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization focused on promoting the competitive shooting sports to juniors. Junior shooters are the future of the 2nd Amendment. We strive to educate juniors about the important role they will play in the future of firearms through the enjoyment and camaraderie of competitive shooting sports. We aim to ensure every junior shooter who wants to attend a 3-Gun match has the opportunity to do so. Our goal is to reimburse junior shooters for every major 3-Gun match entry fee. Once that goal is accomplished, our ultimate focus moves to ensuring any junior who wants to compete in a major match has the resources needed to participate.


In 2025, we saw strong growth in both 3-Gun and 2-Gun participation with 19 juniors competing. All juniors shot for free and had their match entry fees reimbursed for matches across the country. Several sponsors stepped forward to allow the creation of our new Loaner Program, providing top-grade equipment to juniors who need it. In 2026, we are partnering with Fellowship of Christian Athletes Outdoors to support a junior shooters camp introducing new competitors to 3-Gun, 2-Gun, and Precision Rifle disciplines.

​

The sole fundraiser for Generation III Gun is the Generation III Gun Championship. This annual match brings together approximately 200 competitors from around the world, along with staff, sponsors, and volunteers. Our stages provide a challenging and competitive environment designed to attract both seasoned and junior shooters. Sponsors gain valuable face-to-face exposure with athletes, families, and shooting sports supporters throughout the entire event weekend.


By becoming a sponsor, you benefit from year-round promotional opportunities including match entries, vendor tables, banner displays across stages and common areas, website advertising, social media promotion, catalog and promotional handouts to all shooters, recognition at the awards ceremony, and direct mention across media and shooter forums.


A key attraction of our match is the prize table. Over the past several years, we have averaged approximately $70,000 in prizes, with a goal to exceed $100,000 in 2026. Prize table contributions directly enhance competitor participation and reward performance while creating powerful grassroots exposure for your products.

​​

We look forward to your continued support as we grow the Generation III Gun Foundation and expand our ability to support junior shooters nationwide.
